Lu Xun was a famous satirist in the Republic of China period and the founder of modern literature, Lu Xun studied medicine in his early years, and saw the "Russo-Japanese War Education Film" during his study in Japan, in which our people were bullied, so they were deeply stimulated, thinking that awakening the minds of the Chinese people was the most important, so he picked up the pen.
He wrote in The Diary of a Madman: "I opened the history and looked it up, and there is no age in this history. On each page of the crooked slant were written the words "benevolence and morality", I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically, and I looked carefully in the middle of the night before I could see it from the cracks, and there were two words written on the book' 'cannibalism'! ”
In The Scream, he says: "But when it comes to hope, it cannot be erased, for hope lies in the future, and it must not be convincing him by the proof that I am indispensable." ”
In "Chao Hua Xi Shi", it is said: "The old friends are scattered, and Yu is also waiting for light dust." ”
Lu Xun's literary works have influenced generations, and the Korean literary critic Kim Leung-soo also gave Lu Xun a high evaluation, calling him "the writer who occupies the largest territory on the cultural map of East Asia in the twentieth century."
We can completely say that Lu Xun is a giant in thought, a giant in the literary world, and has a far-reaching influence, but what is the truth of Lu Xun? You may not believe it, but the black and white photographs of the year do not lie, and this is to talk about the Irish critic George Bernard Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw is also a world-famous master of humor and satire, who once said this:
"If you have an apple in your hand and an apple in my hand, and you exchange them with each other, you and I still have an apple in my hand." If you have a thought, and I have a thought, and you exchange them with each other, then you and I have two thoughts each. ”
George Bernard Shaw was 25 years older than Lu Xun, but the two, as world-renowned critics, also had a chance to meet face to face and left a precious group photo. After the "May Thirtieth Massacre" in Shanghai in 1925, George Bernard Shaw took the case to support the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of our people, and since then, George Bernard Shaw has paid close attention to China's national independence and anti-Japanese salvation movement.
In the early 1930s, George Bernard Shaw visited the Soviet Union and traveled to China, arriving in Shanghai on February 17, 1933, to meet with Song Qingling, Lu Xun and Cai Yuanpei.
Judging from this black-and-white photo, Lu Xun is a few centimeters shorter than Cai Yuanpei, and Cai Yuanpei has talked about his height in his autobiography, which is 1.67 meters, which means that Lu Xun's height is less than 1 meter 67. In modern times, Wang Gan of the Chinese Writers Association also talked about Lu Xun's height in "Writers Who Moved China", indicating that Lu Xun's height was 1.58 meters.
However, from the group photo of Lu Xun, Xiao Bernard, and Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun is 9 centimeters shorter than Cai Yuanpei, which seems to be slightly exaggerated, and on January 6, 2018, Lu Xun's grandson Zhou Lingfei came to the conclusion that Lu Xun's height was 1 meter 6 by using the wall tiles around Lu Xun as a reference, and it seems that this conclusion is more consistent.
In fact, Lu Xun and Cai Yuanpei are less than one meter and eight in height, which is also very understandable, in China, southerners are generally not as tall as northerners, and Lu Xun and Cai Yuanpei are both from Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
According to relevant statistics, the average height of Men in Zhejiang is 170.9 cm, which is the same as the average height of Men in Fujian, but slightly higher than the average height of Men in Guangdong, so that although Lu Xun's height is short, it is not outrageously short, of course, height is not an important criterion for judging a person, the most important thing is personal thought.
